A quick late luncheon. Genuinely welcomed with a smile. Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. Team work with smiles floating on the floor by all FOH staff- servers and bussers- attention to details by all staff, they always come back to check if one is enjoying one’s meal. Thank you- Faula, Fearn and team! Thoroughly enjoyed my sumptuous meal. Can’t wait to be back with friends. Kudos management for very well trained staff in a professional manner. This place truly defines hospitality/ great food- better than their other branches. 👍😋🫶❣️‼️ - Suneel Devgan
